Parking wasn't too fun! Certainly not the 200 spaces advertised.

Still, it was good to see a nice display of cars out the front and even better to see some familiar faces. smile

Absolutely awesome place!!! I don't know why I didn't go there earlier and Elo - what a legend!
Every petrolhead in London should visit the museum.

I think that's a bit harsh to be honest. A majority of the cars I was looking at were very good condition!! Never seen so many 24" wheels and custom cars.

It appears they will be making the front area a car park during the winter and will also be getting some kind of food licence sorted out. Great pics by the way, thanks!

lots of peeling paint, cracked leather, black tape, I think elo should hire me to take them out every day smile

Great shout on the parking and food, I think it could turn into a very good venue.

There was loads more parking round the back but those spaces are a little further from the museum building. Hence the guys doing their utmost to fit everyone in the front spaces and along the street to make more of a show of things. Had things got out of hand then they would have overflowed into the rer car parks.

cracked leather and peeling paint? I call that the patina of age, not everything needs to be a shiny, garage queen, although there were plenty of those too biggrin

....I have to say the only peeling paint I saw was on my bug out the front....that ones not a museum exhibit but my daily driver which has been all over the world. Someone suggested I respray that but every mark on it tells a story, so I wouldn't dream of it wink
